Itinerary description
Stampede reservoir is a popular spot for water recreation of all kinds. Fishing, motorized boat and personal watercraft use, and water skiing. Kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing when the water is calm (morning and evening). Swimming and fishing too. Ice fishing during winter depending on conditions.
Single family site and group camping in developed campgrounds on the south shore of Stampede Reservoir. Captain Roberts boat ramp is located adjacent to Logger Campground.
Stampede Reservoir is a beautiful high Sierra lake, popular with anglers and water sports enthusiasts. The reservoir is situated at an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet, east of Donner Summit and 15 miles northeast of Truckee. Neighbored by Boca Reservoir, Prosser Creek Reservoir, and Donner Lake, Stampede Reservoir makes a great base camp for those who want to explore the lakes in the region.
Except for a couple of campgrounds, there is no development around the lake, giving it a secluded, wilderness setting. Draw-downs of water in late summer and fall make boating more difficult.
